The oldest and most beautiful bridge over the Arno is the Ponte Vecchio (Old Bridge), which is now one of the symbols of Florence. It was completed in 1345 after ten years of construction. Its total length is 84 m, and its widest point is 30 m. On the bridge there are small shops lined up one after the other, with entrances facing the middle of the bridge. Only in the middle of the bridge do three arcade arches give passers-by a view of the Arno.

The iconic bridge of Florence. Above the bridge passes the famous Vasari corridor which connects Palazzo Vecchio to Palazzo Pitti

Early in the morning you can photograph the bridge and its shops (closed, of course) without crowds.
